The sculpted little dress
One of the best investments you can make this season is a sculpted little dress. Also known as the structured little dress, this new trend is about making bold but impressive statements on the runway. The silhouette is all about clear lines but dramatic pieces, with draping. It also comes with ruffles, peplum waists and bold shoulders. For colours, black is basically the best way to go, but if not an option for your skintone, then choose a sculpted dress in one of this season’s bold bright colors.

The day always come in a woman’s life when you have a bad hair day or you don’t have the time to style your hair. Never mind, with the help of unique hair accessories, you can transform an ordinary hair into something striking and elegant enough to wear to a party or face society looking good. When it comes to hair accessories, you have a variety to choose from especially all those hair accessories that have been decorated and spiced up.

It was all so overwhelming with cameras flashing at me, I had to take pictures and give a speech. When I woke up the next morning, that was when it dawned on me that it was real.
Scarlett fever!!
Question: How do I incorporate the colour RED into my wardrobe without looking like a lady of the night.
Answer: This season’s red-hot hues will light up your look – take inspiration from the zingy ‘orange-scarlet’ vermilion seen on the spring/summer ’10 catwalks. Our very own African designers such as Bunmi Koko, Deola Sagoe and David Tallie from South Africa have show cased Red in their collections.
